Now that’s a Pairing!
Calling all foodies, from Eagle County and beyond

Spring Craft Beer Taste-Test
Craft beer drinkers don’t need to look at a calendar or step outside to know what time of year it is. All they need to do is go to their favorite haunt to see what new beers are appearing on tap and they’ll be able to tell you the weather. Roasty, chocolatey stouts and porters signal winter, pumpkin beers herald fall, maibocks announce spring, and refreshing, crisp beers help beat the heat of summer.
Event: SanTan Brewing Co Beer Dinner at My Wine Cellar
At the last second, I caught an announcement for a beer dinner at My Wine Cellar located in Ahwatukee, AZ featuring the beers from the SanTan Brewing Company. Luckily for me, my schedule had freed up and I headed on over for my first beer and food pairing event. Being familiar with SanTan and their exceptional beers, I did have some relatively high expectations and hoped the chef was able to meet those expectations.

Craft beers are making their way into good cooking
“Beer is the new wine,” says chef Al Scazafave of Elmwood Park’s Twisted Elm, where he serves a handful of dishes cooked with beer. “Basically we use the same techniques. It’s pretty much relearning a lot of my old recipes that I’m using beer in now instead of wine.”
